Bugatti continues to push the boundaries of luxury and performance with its latest creation under the bespoke Solitaire program, known as Bugatti’s new Destrier. Inspired by the legacy of the Type 57G and Type 57C Tank, the Destrier embraces a more refined aesthetic while utilizing the same carbon-fiber monocoque as Bugatti’s Bolide.
The Design and Features of Bugatti’s New Destrier
This latest model is characterized by a flatter front end and an expanded grille, framed by futuristic LED headlights that align with a 2026 aesthetic. Its sleek side profile suggests a longtail design complemented by substantial flared wheel arches on the C-line, offering a muscular yet elegant appearance. This version strips away the more aggressive features of the Bolide, transforming it into a street-legal masterpiece.
Under the hood lies the formidable 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine delivering 1,600 PS, preserving the powerhouse’s renowned performance.
